Timshel - Galapagos to Marquesas Day 15



Just over 2 weeks at sea now and we have not seen another vessel since the day after the start, just as well we are able to talk to the fleet via the SSB, closest to us is the Australian yacht that has joined our net is closest just now, almost in VHF range. Another lovely sunny day, have not hardly altered the sails or anything since Monday evening. Much discussion of the weather on this evenings net and the promised increase in wind did come through so have reefed main and yankee and put away the staysail for now. Other boats talking about there 1000 miles to go celebrations, but we wont get there until tomorrow night. The big multihull Like a Breeze must be nearly there. Apparently we should throw all fruit and veg overboard before arriving at Hiva Oa - don't think this will be a problem as will have at most the odd onion and garlic left. The green bananas have finally ripened, all at once of course, so need to eat them up. We have found it is mainly pork we have left - vacuum packed gammon steaks and bacon, also Spanish sausage. After that lentils or tinned tuna - unless we catch any fish.
